  Description     : examine or edit ELF files (from illumos)

elfedit is a tool for examining or modifying the contents of an existing ELF
object. Specifically, elfedit is used to modify the ELF metadata contained in
the object. Access is provided to most of the ELF data contained in an object,
including the ELF header, section header table, program header table, dynamic
section, hardware and software capabilities, string tables, and symbol tables.

This does many things that the binutils elfedit cannot. It could be packaged as
illumos-elfedit.

I think this includes porting it to GNU/Linux :)
